last thursday was the best day yet...just look at all the goodies we found!

the ceiling medallions and frames were only a buck each! and the little wicker shelf was 75 cents.

another find...vintage hankies.which i turned into this:our craft fridays consist mostly of me spray-painting things while the girls do some sort of art/craft project. (if it doesn't move, i can and will paint it,)

now the girls have a mail center above their desk...found this chip & dip bowl for $1.turned it into lulu's new bed...one of my favorite finds! my $1 frame (painted, of course) and letters from hobby lobby (50% off last week!).another favorite find...$1 ceiling medallion. i think i'm going to add more to this wall, but i'm debating on what it should be. pictures? more medallions? hmmm...we'll see.

and i finally used these turquoise tweed fabric from the thrift store to recover our old, grungy, ripped up ottoman.

after the accident last week, my cousin's daughter was itching to get away from the hospital and have some fun. so last friday, we brought her home with us for a sleepover.

the next morning, i set-up an impromptu "spa day" for the girls.

step 1: bubble baths...

step 2: hair-do's...

step 3: manicures...

step 4: photo-shoot...

(thanks, honey, for holding the "back-drop"/sheet up for me!)

i. can't. handle. the. cuteness.

and, once you're styled to the max and totally feeling the diva attitude, what better thing to do than head out to gigi's cupcakes and order delectably delicious mounds of sugar??aren't. they. amazing!?

the girls...i mean divas...had a fantastic time. i'm so glad we could help out family members in their time of need and make memories for our girls at the same time.
